Computer diagnostics
Modern vehicles use electronic control systems to monitor different functions. When a warning light appears, computer diagnostics can identify stored fault codes and provide useful information for troubleshooting.
What to look out for
- Check engine light
- Electronic warning lights
- Sensor faults
- Starting problems
- Performance issues
- Transmission-related warnings
- Electrical faults
- Stored trouble codes
Before the inspection
A diagnostic scan does not always identify the complete cause by itself. Codes provide a direction for investigation; physical inspection and further testing may still be required.
What happens at the workshop?
Start with the make, model and symptoms. The relevant system can then be inspected, with diagnostic information used where it helps. The condition found determines the recommended service.
Call before visiting to discuss the concern and arrange a suitable time. Any service scope and cost should be confirmed directly with the workshop.
